Bathroom Exhaust Fans Review

Review On Bathroom Exhaust Fans Review

Bathroom exhaust fans can work wonders. Not only do they help keep the air in your bathroom smelling fresh, but they also eliminate much of the moisture that is prevalent in restrooms. You know that water is the greatest enemy of a home, and this is more true in the bathroom than any other room in the house.

So what I want to do is look at some of the best options for bathroom exhaust fans that I could find online. I always start my shopping online at Amazon.com, so let's take a look at the highest rated exhaust fans available.

This Energy Star Qualified 80-CFM Bathroom Exhaust Fan is one of the highest customer rated fans on the Internet, and it comes at an excellent price. Today, the sake price is more than 35% off. I don't know how long this sale will last, but it just goes to show that excellent deals on bathroom exhaust fans can be found online. Be sure to shop online so that you can find the best deals anywhere.

One great advantage of this fan is that it is very, very quiet. It has an air flow of more than 80 cubic feet per minute. That means that it has the ability to circulate all of the air in a moderately sized bathroom in around 10 minutes. As the name indicates, it is Energy Star Qualified, and it is made to provide 100,000 hours of service. The grill runs a little less than 1 foot square, and it will fit any 4" duct.

Now the customer reviews on these exhaust fans are excellent! One person mentioned that they can take extremely hot showers and not even fog up the mirror. Just imagine all of the moisture that is being eliminated. When it comes to exhaust fans (especially those in the bathroom), you certainly get what you pay for. Don't settle for some rickety sounding fan that barely does its job!

But if the price on the product above does bother you a little bit, here is another choice when it comes to bathroom exhaust fans. It is the Broan 671 Ceiling and Wall Mount Ventilation Fan. This is a bit louder than the one above, and it circulates 70 cubic feet per minute instead of 80. Nonetheless, it is still a great option and provides excellent flexibility since it can be mounted on a ceiling or wall. It is very simple to install, and it comes with a 1-year manufacturer's warranty.

Now some customers do talk about its noise level, but compared to the one I had previously, this one wasn't all that loud. It is not all that durable, so you don't want to plan on moving it around. But if you mount it and leave it alone, it should work fine.

Here is one last fan for you to look at. It is the Hunter 82032 110 CBM fan. As the title says, it circulates 110 cubic feet per minute and it very, very reliable. You get a 5-year warranty with this product. This fan gets a very high rating - so far 5.0 stars on every review.

How To Easily Change The Look Of Your Bathroom With New Vanity Mirrors

Read Review On How To Easily Change The Look Of Your Bathroom With New Vanity Mirrors

Bathroom vanity mirrors are an important part of the look of a bathroom. Often the mirror is part of a vanity set, so the style and color match well to achieve an overall look. One important question to ask yourself when purchasing a new bathroom vanity mirror, is, do I need one with a medicine cabinet? This question can be answered with the function you expect from the piece and the function of the room. It may not be necessary to have one in a guest powder room but it can provide added storage in a master bath. If the bathroom is small every extra bit of space can make life easier.

Today's home designers have gotten away from the ugly old medicine cabinets that Grandma had, and have designed new striking accessories that can transform the look of the average bathroom. These designers have found creative ways to hide hinges and handles making them functional and stylish, you wouldn't even know there was a medicine cabinet. The interiors of the cabinets can be just as important as the exterior. There are many choices in shelving, wood, glass, or plastic. The height of the shelves can also be important, dictating the size of the items you can place inside. The interiors can even be lined with a rustproof aluminum for homes on the sea shore.

There has been a recent trend lately to remodel older homes to their original state. When doing this the bathroom fixtures can not be overlooked. Finding original style bathroom mirrors can be difficult often the glass needs to be replaced because it can become cloudy or specked with age. It is also possible to find brand new mirrors in the retro styles to fit with period look you are trying to achieve.

If the traditional look is not for you, modern or contemporary may be just the ticket. These styles allow for a more unique and personal impression. Just a plain mirror with beveled edges can give your bathroom a sleek and modern appearance. There are also made types of frames that can be used to reflect personal style. In a smaller space maybe a shiny aluminum or chrome is the way to go; it will reflect even more light making the room seem larger. There are also more functional types of mirrors, ones with three sides, hinged so the user can move them to get different views.

Any style you decide to use should be functional as well as stylish to reflect your originality. A new bathroom mirror can compliment an old vanity giving your bathroom a fresh look without the added cost of new fixtures. So have fun with choosing a mirror because you may have to face it every morning.

Bathroom Furniture for an RV

Best Review Bathroom Furniture for an RV

Life in an RV can be wonderful or frustrating, depending on what you make it. The author lived full-time in an RV for two years, working on a commissioned book. Actually, she lived in two RVs, one after the other. The first was a 20' motorhome. Those of us who were "full-timers" rather than vacationers joked about the way to get along with your spouse in a small RV. Whenever you meet going in opposite directions, hug and pivot. We hugged and pivoted in the tiny 20' motorhome for 365 days. Then we "moved up" to a 30' 5th wheel and continued to hug and pivot for another 365 days. It was part of keeping a happy marriage while living 24/7/365 in a small RV.

RV Bathroom Furniture

RV bathroom furniture is another part of living in a small RV. (Note: Every RV is small when you live in it.) RV bathroom furniture must be ready to "hug and pivot" to work in as little space as possible.

RV bathroom furniture has several requirements. It must be...

1. Lightweight: Weight is very important when traveling in an RV. The more weight you put into RV bathroom furniture, the harder you will work your engine. You may also slow your travels. Think lightweight! The wooden magazine rack may look better, but the plastic one may weigh less.

2. Practical and efficient: Add nothing that doesn't earn its keep. RV and camping stores offer hundreds of appealing gadgets. Some serve no real purpose, or do not fulfill promises. When you look at bathroom furniture, consider what it will do for you. Look around to see if there is another item that will better do the job. Small baskets may help you organize, but small boxes may do it better.

3. Mildew-resistant: An RV bathroom is a small, closed space. Unless you want to spend hours scrubbing mildew, make sure all bathroom furniture is mildew-resistant. Shower curtains or pleated doors should be treated to resist mildew. Shower hoses should, too. If you need a curtain or shade at the window, get one in mildew-resistant material.

4. Easy to clean: Most people use an RV for vacations and do not want to spend their time cleaning the bathroom. Look for bathroom furniture that is smooth, free of seams and cracks that collect dirt, mold, and mildew.

5. Stable: Any RV bathroom furniture you add must stay in place when traveling rough roads. Even if you don't plan to go off-road to a remote campsite, you will encounter tough patches in road construction. Items that will not stay put require frequent packing and unpacking.

RV bathroom furniture that does not meet these criteria should be considered carefully. Chances are good that you will trash it or replace it soon if it fails in one or more points.

RV Bathroom Remodel

An RV remodel of the bathroom gives you opportunity to put some of these principles into practice.

For example, an RV tub may have a glass sliding door. It looks good, and you found a piece of 2x2 that keeps it from sliding while you're traveling. If you replaced it during your RV model, however, you could lighten your load. Install a lightweight, accordion pleated door in its place. The lighter door will lock in place for travel.

Your RV remodel might be even more radical. You may decide that no one uses that tub. Showers are quicker. Replace the tub with a white corner shower, opening up storage space. A fiberglass shower is a piece of bathroom furniture that is practical, efficient, mildew-resistant, and easy to clean. One-piece, seamless construction installs easily with Super Grip Foam Tape. For less weight, use a shower curtain. Attach a small fastener to hold it in transit.

An RV remodel might also take bathroom furniture from the hall and put it in the bath. Example: Having replaced the tub with a corner shower, move the hallway sink to the space beside the shower. You have free hallway space for a stacking washer/dryer!

Other RV bathroom furniture you might want to change:

1. brighter lights above a dark mirror

2. soap/shampoo dispenser attached to shower wall

3. over-the-door towel holders

4. lightweight medicine cabinet above sink

5. taller, roomier wood vanity

6. additional, plastic shower curtain rod for towels

Helpful Tip

RV bathroom furniture can be found online at any RV parts center. Smaller accessories are usually found at camping supply stores.
